Looks pretty good condition to start with and I am sure if you galvy chassis it you won't regret it.
Thanks

Thanks for all the info so far guys. Really appreciate it. Haven't been able to action much since my initial post as my dad recently passed away and all the legal stuff has got in the way. Will send an update from here in deepest darkest Wales asap. Got her first trip out to a classic car show in a week's time - fingers crossed 🤞

Sorry to hear about your dad. What dark part of Wales are you in? I am near Llandeilo.

Hi Clive, many thanks. Up in North Wales just north of Wrexham.
